Peach's Castle (Paper Mario)

Peach's Castle
In Paper Mario
First appearance	Paper Mario (2000)
Ruler	Princess Peach
Iteration of	Peach's Castle

Peach's Castle stands atop Bowser's Castle during the events of Paper Mario.

Peach's Castle appears as a major location in Paper Mario.

At the start, Mario and Luigi are invited by Princess Peach to attend a party at the castle. As the attendees are enjoying themselves, Bowser, who had constructed his castle under Peach's Castle, causes both castles to launch high into the skies. He throws Mario out of a window, sending him back to Mushroom Kingdom, while imprisoning Peach and several other characters she had invited.

In the prologue, when Mario visits Shooting Star Summit, Twink visits Peach in her room and offers to help her. Every chapter is followed by a segment at Peach's Castle where the player controls Peach to get information from sources such as Bowser's diary, the 64th Trivia Quiz-Off, talking Koopatrols and Hammer Bros, and Gourmet Guy for Mario.

In the end, Mario and his partners make their way up to Peach's Castle, with help from the Star Spirits. They confront Bowser and Kammy Koopa on the roof and send the villains flying off by defeating them before returning the castle to Toad Town. Mario later attends another party at Peach's Castle, with this one commemorating his victory over Bowser and his forces. Peach gives a speech to thank Mario and his allies for restoring the kingdom. A Toad soldier also guards Peach's Room, which Mario after repeatedly talking to the soldier, annoying him. There is also a guest room turned Toad House, which is the final one.

• "This is Peach's Castle. But we just came out of Bowser's Castle! I've got a funny feeling about this... I wonder where Princess Peach is being held captive. I think we should brace ourselves, Mario."
• "This is the first floor hall of Princess Peach's Castle. There are so many doors, though. Where on earth can Princess Peach be?"
• "Boy, what happened here? This is even messier than my room back home! It looks like nobody ever puts anything away in here."
• "That's a pretty huge drawer over there. I bet a person could fit inside! If they wanted to, that is... Hey, there's a bed, too! This must be a guest room."
• "It's a kitchen. I'm just guessing, but I bet this is where they make the meals. The castle's head chef probably cooks all the meals, don't you think? I wonder what kinds of savory dishes he knows how to make. Hey, Mario, have you ever eaten here?"
• "This is the second floor hall of Princess Peach's Castle. There are so many doors, though. Where on earth can Princess Peach be?"
• "This is just an ordinary room. Do you smell something, though? What a strange odor..."
• "Wow! So many books. If we weren't in the middle of such an adventure, I'd love to read some of these."
• "It's a dining room. It looks like somebody has eaten here recently. Probably not the Princess-- they're probably starving her! People always say that the meals served here are delectable. I'd love to eat here sometime."
• "This looks like a storeroom. ...! Hey! Check out that box! Let's see what's in it."
• "Wow! This is Princess Peach's room, isn't it? It smells great in here! It's such a cheerful room, just like Princess Peach. I can't believe she was locked up in here for so long, all by herself. She must've been so lonely... We've got to rescue her, right now!!"
• "This balcony has a great view. I'm betting that this is one of the princess's favorite places."
• "It's a covered hallway in Peach's Castle, Mario. Let's find Bowser and save Princess Peach!"
• "We have to help Princess Peach!! Mario! Hurry up! Let's move!"
• "Bowser's gone upstairs. C'mon, we have to follow him! Mario, let's roll!"
• "We have to save the princess! Hurry up! Mario! There's no time to waste!"
• "It's a castle tower. These long spiral stairs go up and up and around and around. Oog...I feel dizzy."
• "Huh? Where in the world did Bowser just disappear to?"
